O'er the dark night of chaos, shone 

One lone, brave star. 
Still circling on, frorn zone to zone, 

Bright, blest, afar.

In tender rriercy, Spirit sped 

A loyal ray, 
To rouse the living, wake the dead, 

And point the Way — 

The Christ-ideal, God anoints, 

Of Truth and Life; 
The Way in Science, He appoints, 

Which stills all strife.

Science repeats, 
Through understanding, dearly sought, 

With fierce heart-beats.

For heaven's CHR1STUS. earthly Eves. 

By Adam bid, 
Make merry feast on Christrnas eves, 

O'er babe and crib 

Creatures of dust, of woman born, 

Are mortals frail ; 
But Christ eternal ! Naught forlorn 

Pales this glad tale! 



Make merry feast on 'Christmas eves, 
■O'er babe and crib. 



Why should ye celebrate the birth 

Of one ne'er born ? 
Who can depict the glorious worth 

Of that high morn?
